The Morgan Wallen Foundation just paired with the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation to donate $500,000 worth of musical instruments to schools across the U.S. The initiative is called “One Instrument at a Time”.

Deadline Hollywood says Blake Shelton, the Backstreet Boys, and other artists will perform in a benefit for victims of hurricanes Helene and Milton. The special will air on CBS and CMT. Proceeds will support hurricane relief efforts across the southeastern U.S. (You can find more out about the benefit concert, here.)

If you’ve been slacking in your spooky movie game this season, it’s not too late. I have a list of 13 movies that take place on Halloween night…and there are a lot more than just “Halloween”: “Terrifier”, “Late Night with the Devil”, “Hocus Pocus”, and “Trick ‘r Treat”.

People often wonder if there’s a crossover between horror movie fans and true crime junkies. And we might be about to find out. There’s a movie coming out that mixes both worlds. It’s called “F Marry Kill”, and it stars Lucy Hale from “Pretty Little Liars”. She plays a true crime aficionado realizes that one of the three men she’s dating might be the “Swipe Right Killer”. “F Marry Kill”hits theaters on December 6th. trailer

The Daily Mail says Reese Witherspoon has allegedly warned her new boyfriend Oliver Haarmann that marriage is off the table, following two divorces. ‘’At 48 Reese doesn’t plan to have any more children. She’s also independent as hell and certainly doesn’t need a man for his money. The reason she’s told Oliver “no” to marriage is because she doesn’t want him to have false expectations and think this is in their future. Because it definitely isn’t. Reese is doing great and enjoys dating. She’s having fun with Oliver. She often flies between Nashville and NYC to see him. He’s spending time with her kids too.”

Martha Stewart tells The New York Times that she dislikes the ending scenes of her new Netflix documentary, ‘’Martha’’. She blames filmmaker RJ Cutler. “Those last scenes with me looking like a lonely old lady walking hunched over in the garden? Boy, I told him to get rid of those. And he refused. I hate those last scenes. Hate them. I had ruptured my Achilles tendon. I had to have this hideous operation. And so I was limping a little. But again, he doesn’t even mention why — that I can live through that and still work seven days a week.”

Here are some costumes country stars have previously worn for Halloween: Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany went as Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone from “Anchorman” . . . and Luke Bryan and Lina went as Nemo and Darla from “Finding Nemo”. 1 in 4 adults will dress up for Halloween this year.

Trying to find the perfect horror movie for you? Why not pick the one that best aligns with your zodiac sign? The “New York Post” has matched each sign with the most appropriate flick. Here’s the rundown:

1. Aries: “Suspiria”. The 1977 original ends with a coven engulfed in flames, and Aries is a fire sign. The 2018 remake features, quote, “ecstatic dance and bald carnality,” which are hallmarks of the Aries spirit.

2. Taurus: “Midsommar”. A Taurus is loyal to a fault, and often to their detriment . . . like Florence Pugh’s character is to her toxic boyfriend.

Also, minus the horrific violence, a Taurus would drink in the Earthly delights offered by the Midsommar festival, like sunshine, SEX, feasting . . . and natural hallucinogens???

3. Gemini: “Scream”. The Gemini is curious, inquisitive, and highly verbal . . . and two of the hallmarks of this flick are phones and discussions of horror trivia.

Also, Gemini is all about duality, just like the heroine’s boyfriend, who turns out to be the KILLER.

4. Cancer: “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”. Cancer is the most nostalgic sign, and its people tend to long for, quote, “everything and everyone they have ever lusted for, lost, or loved.” Just like the doomed love story between Dracula and Mina.

5. Leo: “It”. Leos are all about play, romance, and the inner child. There’s some Pennywise in there. Leos are also defenders of others . . . like the kids who band together to defeat him.

6. Virgo: “The Shining”. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and exchange. And communication, in the form of telepathy, helps save the day.

Virgos are also prone to prioritize the grind over the road to joy . . . or, to put it another way, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Also, Stephen King is a Virgo.

7. Libra: “Get Out”. Libra seeks to call out injustice and balance the scales, so to speak . . . which is exactly what “Get Out” aims to do.

8. Scorpio: “Halloween”. Scorpio rules over the eighth house of sex, death, and regeneration . . . perfect for the holiday. Plus, Jamie Lee Curtis is a Scorpio in real life.

9. Sagittarius: “The Devil’s Rejects”. A Sagittarius loves a cheap laugh, a getaway car, and the call of the open road. A movie about villains on the run . . . but still stopping for tutti frutti ice cream . . . is a pretty good match.

10. Capricorn: “The Witch”. In the tarot, Capricorn is represented by the Devil . . . who, in this movie, tempts a young, innocent girl with the classic line, “Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?” Spoiler alert: She would.

11. Aquarius: “28 Days Later”. Aquarians are good to have on your side during a zombie Apocalypse, because they’re kind without being sentimental, and can balance innovation and implementation.

12. Pisces: “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. Pisces rules the 12th house of dreams and the unconscious mind, which makes this match a no-brainer.

Also, Pisces is one of the most common zodiac signs among serial killers . . . like Freddy Krueger.
